Revises contiguous acre requirement for farmland assessment eligibility under certain circumstances.
This bill revises New Jersey's farmland assessment rules to allow landowners with five or more noncontiguous acres of agricultural or horticultural land to qualify for reduced tax assessment. Specifically, it permits eligibility if at least three acres are contiguous, all parcels are owned by one person, and the land has been actively used for agriculture for two consecutive years. The change applies to existing farmland assessment requirements under P.L.1964, c.48, without altering other standard eligibility conditions like the two-year usage period or ownership rules. It directly affects small-scale farmers with fragmented parcels who previously couldn't qualify due to the contiguous acre requirement.
